From the satellite imagery I can see that the second runway is taking shape even more now, and the terminal base is starting to show up. Looking forward to see where the other remaining runways will be placed.

I’m surprised to see how quick they have started.
They also mention that the current workforce is around 9,000 and set to increase to 120,000 during peak construction activity.
It took a while for Google Maps to update. If you want to see the latest coverage I recommend using ArcGIS.

Al Maktoum Airport is on track to open in 2032.

Yes, it looks like some shuffling has begun at Al Maktoum Airport.

I visited the airport site - no activity yet and no visible signs of construction.
